With F.H. Brundle, you don’t compromise on school security


Schools can’t cut corners on security. But in education, budgets are tight. How do you square that circle?


By finding the right supplier. At F.H.Brundle, we’ve helped dozens of schools, colleges, and universities keep students safe and secure.


In our vast and ever-expanding range, you’ll find products that offer outstanding performance at competitive prices. Our RoSPA bow top railings and gates are designed to minimise the risk of clothes entanglement and finger, head and neck traps.


Long-lasting and easy to install, they come packaged together with necessary components, and are priced per metre.


Products like the Nylofor 3-M offer a high level of security, and are difficult for would-be intruders to scale, while remaining almost completely transparent. This makes them perfect for contexts where you want children to be secure, but also need the environment to still be open and welcoming.


What’s more, it’s been specifically designed to be both cost-effective and quick and easy to install – it can be fitted 20% faster, and needs 20% less concrete and posts than other systems of its type.


We also supply a wide range of mesh panel systems to suit all types of perimeter security applications. Whether high-level or low-level security is required, mesh fencing resists impact and vandalism, all without obstructing views.


Pedestrian barriers are another vital part of any safe school site. At school, children can face risks from car parks and busy roads.


At F.H. Brundle, our range of hot dip galvanised pedestrian safety barriers are fully welded and come complete with fixing bolts for optimal strength, longevity and ease of installation. Whatever your school security need, we can help! For more information, call on 01708 398048, or visit www.fhbrundle.co.uk


Superphon panels provide reverberation control at new school


CMS Danskin Acoustics’ SuperPhon panels are contributing to reverberation control at a newly built school in East Hertfordshire, helping to ensure standards for acoustics in new school buildings are met.


Buntingford First School is a school for around 330 children between the ages of three and nine, which opened for the 2023 autumn term. Built to Passivhaus standards by Morgan Sindall Construction for Hertfordshire County Council, the 1,643 sqm school includes a nursery and ten classrooms.


During construction 175 SuperPhon panels of varying sizes and colours were installed by SCL Interiors, mainly on classroom walls, to absorb sound and provide reverberation control.


SuperPhon provides up to Class ‘A’ acoustic performance and has a Noise Reduction Coefficient from 0.80 to 1.15 - an NRC of 0 indicating perfect reflection and an NRC of 1 indicating perfect absorption. The sound absorption coefficient is tested to BS EN ISO 354:2003.


New school buildings must satisfy the requirements of Section 1 of Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) – setting out the constructional standard for acoustics in new school buildings.


SuperPhon is available in standard sizes, thicknesses and finishes, including wipe clean and art panels, but also as bespoke panels in terms of size, thickness, shape or fabric facing. Designed for use in applications, including recording/rehearsal studios, audiology rooms, cinemas and theatres, schools, call centres and conference rooms, SuperPhon has been installed at the Liverpool Academy, Edinburgh Observatory, Jodrell Bank and the Hydro Arena in Glasgow.


CMS Danskin Acoustics, part of SIG plc, provides a free reverberation calculation service as well as full technical and on-site support. The panels are manufactured at their Warrington site.


SCL Interiors are a leading suspended ceiling and partitioning contractor, providing services including SFS, dry lining, suspended ceilings, glazed screens and acoustic rafts/wall panels throughout the East Anglia region.
